Myth about Krakatau

One of the colorful myths about this volcano is that it once erupted long ago. It filled the sky with ash and pelted the earth with lava. Many lightning storms took place and rain poured down, eventually extinguishing the volcano's great flames. With a loud cry of anguish, the volcano sank into the ground with water filling it. This separated the islands of Java and Sumatra and created the Sunda Straight. 

Now first of all, it wasn't that much of a myth. Second of all, only half was really about Krakatau. We assume there aren't many myths about the volcano, because it is at least 25 miles away from land itself.
